Magnetic Field Calculation • [24 mm x 12 mm] N42 NdFeB magnet • [16 mm x 6.3 mm] coil (one side shown) • 3 mm coil-magnet spacing • 6-mm thick soft steel annulus • Average B-field = 2900 Gauss in vertical direction • Calculated by ViziMag Azmuthal Cross Section D. Rowe 9-25-07
Motor Analysis • 3-phase motor • 4.5 ohms per phase • 20 AWG wire • 4.4 N-m/amp per phase • ~ 7 N-m/amp for three phase operation • 14 N-m maximum, 12 V system • 30 N-m maximum, 24 V system • Can drive 30” telescope • ~ $100 for magnets • ~ $ 40 for wire • ~ $ 20 for steel annulus • Some assembly required D.
